    Thunder & Lightning: Was Mike Leach Right to Criticize Opt-Outs?

    No. The only value a bowl game provides is money for the school, some free swag for the players, a chance at a trip for the team, and some extra practice reps for next season. None of this is affected in any way by a player opting out. It would only be an issue if a marquee player dropping...

    Reassessing Cohen

    I've actually heard this argument from a not insignificant number of fans.

    Even the Media is pressing Strickland.

    Dan is finding out that State fans had way more patience for his occasional failures. Inexplicable recruiting misses, losing winnable games, clock mismanagement, and finishing last in the conference etc. I don't know what Florida thought they were getting. Dan Mullen is an average coach...

    So, Mule getting hit last night..

    I don't think it was intentional, but last night bordered on getting out of control. Vandy should be embarrassed at how they handled themselves. Freshmen pitchers with no control hitting multiple batters. There's a reason for the 10-run rule.

    I've thought about this a lot over the weekend...

    Admittedly, I never liked Moorhead. I didn't like his playbook from Penn State, and I thought he hadn't earned his stripes to get an SEC head coach job. Following the Florida and then Kentucky game in his first year, it was clear that he didn't have the ability to adjust or respond to what was...

    We’re going to have to learn to sell fouls.

    For those that continue to say Jackson's a great place to live

    Jackson is not without it's many, many problems, but it's misleading pointing to the incidents that happen in areas where absolutely none of you would ever live. If you find yourself on Medgar Evers Boulevard at any time of day, turn around. Crime is still way too high, but similarly the...

    OT: Rise of Skywalker

    I'm really glad that I went in with lowered expectations because I really liked it. I initially didn't love TLJ, but it's actually grown on me since it came out. Obviously it tried to repair some ideas Rian injected, but I think it is thematically similar in that a "spark" of rebellion would...

    7 to general the squad

    Inmates running the asylum. JoMo isn't going to punish anyone because he's struggling to keep his job. It's late Stansbury all over again.

    Steve from FB post.....

    I have disliked Moorhead’s coaching since day one, he botched the quarterback decision this year, and I found his post game comments to be arrogant. I don’t know why we gave him an extension after year one, and I don’t know why we’ve extended him again. And I call BS on supporting...

    First visit to The New Dude

    Here's the way to solve all of this. 1. A ticket resell website. 2. Actually police the resell of tickets. It isn't hard to use technology to force resellers on to an official site and to sell their tickets for face. Remember, it is still technically illegal to sell your tickets above...

    How would you expand DNF? Or would you?

    I think it's pretty perfect as is, but I think adding a second loft would complete the look of the stadium and be more in keeping with the original renderings. In the second loft, I would make the first floor a concession/restaurant accessible to the rest of the stadium. Really just a...

    Dawgs #2 in latest D-1 Baseball poll.

    My comment was about Lemonis and whether he is a "bust" hire. Lemonis didn't recruit Small and Ginn. He hasn't developed them. He's putting them on the mound and letting them roll. You're ready to extend the man's contract?

    Dawgs #2 in latest D-1 Baseball poll.

    Yeah, I'm going to withold judgement for now. It's easy to look good when Small and Ginn are basically shutting everyone down.
